Note di degustazione
Pale-medium garnet. Smoky, meaty development to dark chocolate oak and clove, with crushed rock and some scented strawberry fruit beneath. Supple, drying red cherry and dark chocolate, with moderate, fairly fine tannins that are taking on some polish. Dense and powerful, savoury style that gives plenty of flavour and length. (TJ)

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Feves from Chanson has a leafy, herbaceous nose and is rather stalky in style, though nicely defined and showing more fruit intensity than Chanson’s Clos des Mouches. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, and is nicely balanced with broody, dark fruit. It feels a little angular and attenuates slightly on the finish, although there is appreciable sustain on the aftertaste, again, demonstrating a subtle marine/seaweed influence. Returning after five minutes, it has coalesced and gained more substance, subsuming that initial stalky element and showing some class.
Mid dark cherry colour. Lightly spicy with just a slight leafiness adding to the fragrance of delicate cherry fruit. Silky texture, delicate but with depths of flavour and very persistent. Lovely even now. (JH)
